Dylan brings back 'You Ain't Goin' Nowhere'
Bob Dylan opened the June 6 Woodinville, Washington concert at Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery with 'You Ain't Goin' Nowhere,' his first live performance of the Basement Tapes staple since Nov. 21, 2012. NME, Billboard, and JamBase say Doug Lancio and Bob Britt added light harmony vocals on the song. The show landed in the current 2026 North American summer leg.
Why it matters
It is a rare live revival of a signature Dylan deep cut and signals active setlist experimentation.

Summer 2026 setlist moves beyond Rough and Rowdy Ways
Cult Following, WDRV, and Channel1 LA report that Dylan has been reshaping the summer 2026 run away from a fixed Rough and Rowdy Ways template. The June 4 Troutdale, Oregon date produced the live debut of 'Baby, Won't You Be My Baby,' while Woodinville's second night added 'Love Sick' and a Bo Diddley cover, 'I Can Tell.' Most spring 2026 shows had used a largely identical setlist, making the new rotations more notable.
Why it matters
The tour now looks more like a catalog-spanning rotation than a standard album-cycle set.

Still unclear
OPEN QUESTION
Will Dylan keep rotating Basement Tapes rarities?
He has already revived more than one long-dormant song on this leg, so the next dates may show whether this is a one-off or a sustained pattern.
OPEN QUESTION
How long will Rough and Rowdy Ways stay sidelined?
Reports suggest the current run is drifting away from the 2020 album cycle, and the remaining dates will show whether that reset holds.
